Maybe. I would definitely love the darkness of tough love over the weakness of being sweet and caring only to be heart broken later. In the world of Equestria that is, not in the current world of being a human.
Maybe not in the direct loving and caring way of the so called heroes, but with plenty of tough love to prepare them for the true reality of the world. That way they have plenty of darkness and hatred within them to stand up for themselves.

Which makes Thorax being a doting cinnamon roll all the sweeter as her successor. Where Chrysalis would have scolded, shouted (or worse) at drones who messed up, I can see Thorax reassuring them it’s okay to mess up, and giving hugs out like candy on Nightmare Night.
@Wayneponeth
I’d argue Chrysalis never acted like a mother once in her life either in practice or in concept, but yes, Thorax is definitely cute in doing the role. x)
Not to worry, Celly. Thorax is basically everyling’s second dad, anyway. I wrote a whole book about it.
@Wayneponeth
Thorax is prime dad material for the entire hive, it’s probably not just directed at Ocellus. One of his first major acts as king was to introduce new hive activities so everyone would be happier (To Change a Changeling).
King Cinnabug exercises maximum paternal patriarch fluff. Set phasers to hug.
I believe it.
Twilight definitely has accidentally called Celestia Mom at one point in her life. That’s my headcanon. :P

Haha, that is true. Thorax is a better parent than Chrysalis. XD
Considering what we saw in the show, that sounds about right for Chrysalis.

Shouldn’t it be more like “they’re not our kids!”? :P
Lmao spike’s reaction tho:
Spike: why didn’t you tell me you two have your own kids?!
Thorax and Ember: you didn’t ask
I like how it’s like Chrysalis’ mother-like role but more paternal. That’s just adorable. Thorax is best dad. :3
